New DATA module

New DATA module

The DATA module version 3.2.2 has been released. It is available on the open cascade CVS repository DATA_SRC with tag V3_2_2. This module is now compliant with the new Salome GUI.

NEW : 2 new tools are provided to help using the module (in DATA_SRC/tools directory):
- An SPML wizard:
This wizard is proposed in 2 versions : qt3 for linux and qt4 for windows. The wizard helps in the creation of SPML files using a GUI. There are some known issues : currently, it can only reads SPML files which were created with wizard, not the ones created by hand ; there is also a problem of compatibility between SPML wizard files from linux and windows. See README file.

- A DATAGenerator tool:
This tool is for the creation of Python modules based on the DATA module and pre-configured with an SPML file. The modules created in this way should be used as modules for the encapsulation of solvers. See README file for more details.

Re: New DATA module

As only participants to the project Salome2 can access the CVS bases, I provide another way to get the DATA module : GMail !
To get the DATA module tarball, follow instructions below:
- Go to www.gmail.com
- login : salome.data
- password : moduledata

Then you will find the DATA module in the mail of the inbox.

Cheers,

Gilles

Re: New DATA module

I forgot to mention :
If you use Firefox, get the extension gSpace to directly access to the gmail drive, and thus the DATA tarball.
(In the security options, the gSpace website must be allowed to install extensions)

Re: New DATA module

I was just trying to install DATA module. Everything goes fine up to a "make" point. I'm getting an error
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `DATACatalog.xml.in', needed by `share/salome/resources/data/DATACatalog.xml.in'. Stop.

Do you have any guess how to overcome this?
Another one: do I have to do "source KERNEL/bin/salome.csh" and "source env_products.csh" in order for the new env. variables to take effect before the install?

Re: New DATA module

I got the same problem like Andriy during compiling of the DATA module. Everything goes fine up to a "make" point. I'm getting an error
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `DATACatalog.xml.in', needed by `share/salome/resources/data/DATACatalog.xml.in'. Stop.

Do you have any idea how to resolve this problem?

I would like to combine Salome with Code_Aster. Presently it is only possible to exchange meshes and result files. Do you eventually have an SPML file for Code_Aster?

Thank you very much in advance

Re: New DATA module

Although I managed to compile and install the DATA module half a year ago, it didn't work properly. Only now I decided to put some efforts into it.
The problem I have is that although I see the DATA module button in Salome (and the Solver button) I don't see other parts of the interface, like SPML button and so on. I can
load the example study and I see that it has some physical properties, but as soon as I activate the DATA module it all dissapairs (the physical property discription). By the way, when I load
the data module I see that it tries to automatically load Tuan.smpl file, but it couldn't find it, so I renamed one of the existing spml files into Tuan.spml.
Probably something wrong with the instalation of my DATA. The documentation that accompanies the module is written for some old Salome version. Would you be so kind to breafly outline
how I can install the DATA module with Salome 3.2.6? Can that be done?

Re: New DATA module

Although I managed to compile and install somehow DATA module on Salome 3.2.6, it still doesn't work and, as some of the Salome developers mentioned somewhere on this forum, is not supposed to work. DATA is not maintained by OPEN Cascade anymore. May be it is possible to rebuild it for this SAlome version, but I wouldn't know how.

What I think you can do is either be satisfied with the older Salome 2.2.8, that has DATA module included by default, or, as I was suggested on this forum, try to learn using the new XDATA module, that, as I understand, can be used as a factory for production of something like a new DATA modules.

Best regards,
Andriy
